<p>With 2018 officially behind us, Amazon has revealed its 100 best-selling video game items of the past year. As usual, the list encompasses all of the gaming-related products the online retailer sold in 2018, from peripherals and accessories to gift cards and subscriptions, but the most popular game item in any category was <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/super-smash-bros-ultimate/">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a>.</p>
<p>Nintendo&#8217;s new mascot brawler was both Amazon&#8217;s best-selling video game and the retailer&#8217;s overall best-selling game product in 2018&#8211;a distinction that is all the more impressive considering the title launched less than a month ago. The fighting game has been a major commercial success for Nintendo, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/smash-bros-ultimate-shatters-sales-record-for-the-/1100-6463982/">setting new sales records for the series</a> around the world shortly after its release. GameSpot also selected it as <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/best-games-of-2018-super-smash-bros-ultimate/1100-6463967/">one of our 10 best video games of 2018</a>.</p>
<p>The remainder of the top 10 games list is almost evenly divided between Switch and PS4 titles. The PS4 version of Rockstar&#8217;s critically acclaimed open-world western, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/red-dead-redemption-2/">Red Dead Redemption 2</a>, was Amazon&#8217;s second-best-selling game of 2018, while <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/super-mario-party/">Super Mario Party</a> rounded out the top three. Two of 2018&#8217;s biggest PS4 exclusives, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/marvels-spider-man/">Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/god-of-war/">God of War</a>, were No. 4 and No. 9, respectively, while <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/pokemon-lets-go-eevee/">Pokemon: Let&#8217;s Go Pikachu</a> and the PS4 version of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-4/">Call of Duty: Black Ops 4</a> were No. 7 and No. 8.</p>
<p>Some of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/super-mario-odyssey-more-switch-games-top-amazons-/1100-6455871/">2017&#8217;s biggest Switch exclusives</a> also reappeared on 2018&#8217;s best-sellers list. <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/mario-kart-8/">Mario Kart 8 Deluxe</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/super-mario-odyssey/">Super Mario Odyssey</a> were Amazon&#8217;s No. 5 and 6 best-selling games of the past year, respectively, while the Switch launch game <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a> closed out the top 10.</p>
<p>The list of overall game products was dominated by gift cards and accessories. You can see Amazon&#8217;s top 10 best-selling games below.
